Possible cause
Check that the mains plug is
properly inserted or try plug-
ging the iron into a different
socket.
Turn the temperature control
to the required setting.
When the thermostat light goes
on and off, the iron is heating
up. As soon as the light goes
off, the steam temperature has
been reached.
Turn the steam control to the
.
required setting area.
Fill the tank (C).
Wait for the soleplate to reach
the correct temperature.
Do not add any descaling
agents to the water in the
water tank.
Only use untreated tap water
or mix half tap water with half
distilled/demineralised water.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroug-
hly to remove any soap depo-
sits or chemicals on new gar-
ments which may be sucked up
by the iron.
See the temperature table to
correctly set the thermostat.
Clean the soleplate as indicated
in section H. Always spray starch
onto the reverse side of the fabric
to be ironed.
Allow more time between
each burst.
Always set the iron on its
heel.
Try to avoid ironing over zips
which may have rough edges.
